Tiger Management Keeps Apple, Ups Google, Adds Priceline

By Brendan Conway

Julian Robertson’s Tiger Management LLC held onto its Apple (AAPL) stake as of the end of the third quarter while building a bigger holding in Google (GOOG), a new regulatory filing shows.

The firm’s Apple stake stayed at just under 101,000 shares, while Google increased by about 15% to 36,300. The disclosure shows what the firm was holding as of Sept. 30. (Goes without saying, this doesn’t tell you what the company is holding right now.)

Other notable moves: Adding a 328,000-share stake in Blackstone Group (BX), trimming holdings in Goldman Sachs (GS) and J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) and adding a new Priceline (PCLN) holding of 23,800 shares.
